Stopping a stock bodied 914 on 205 tires into the bus stop at 145mph with stock calipers is interesing.....it will move side to side about a car width!

Oh and thanks for the offer on the 1.8 crank. I'm still mulling over some options, but I'll keep it in mind. If I can save the case, which I think I can, I will probably just buy a new crank and put it back together.

"Interesting" is putting it nicely.

I get to drive a six on the track, but it's way more fun to have a serious four. Plus, I like to watch the expression on people's faces when they hear it's a four.
